IN A BAD WAY.
A Wealthy stranger With the DelIrIum
Tremens.

About u month ago a reputed wealthy
gentleman from the East, whose name
tor convenience sake will be referred to
here as John Jones, arrived in Cheyenne
and after stopping over here for n few
days to call on and visit parties in this
city with whom he was acquainted in the
East went to Denver, where he also had
acquaintance. While in Cheyenne he
had with him about SC, 900 in cash, and
had it with him when he left for Colorado.
In the cou rse of two weeks he returned to
Cheyenne in a demoralized condition. and
had evidently been drinking heavily while
in Colorado. He SAID but little as to
what had happened to him or
where he had been while in Dem
yer. At length his case developed into a
bad and violent state of delirium and he
was taken to the county hospital as a paid
patient, where he now is and in a deplora-
BILE condition. He has become so violent
in his rawlings that for a large portion of
the time, especially at night, it requires
two kood able bodied men to take care of
him, and it frequently happens that they
have to hold him by main strength upon
the bed to prevent his doing violence to
himself or someone else. Although he
had some $4,000 when he went to Denver,
since he returned he has had none so far
as can be ascertained, except the sum of
$500. The question now is what became
of 1t; he may have deposited it somewhere
or it may have been stolen from him.

4 FILTER DEF
A Small One with Which To Expert
meut.

The city council has authorized the city
engineer to order at once a small filter
from one of the firms in the East which was
visited by the council committee on their
trip East last fall. The filter has been
telegraphed for, and will be here in a few
days. This filter is a small one, with
which experiments are to be made, but it
undoubtedly foreshadows the putting in
of filtration system for the city as soon
as possible. As stated but "a few days ago
the matter of having pure water is a very
important one for the city, and it is with
pleasure THE LEADER notes the fact that
our people and authorities have begun to
realize the fact that this is a matter of
vital importance and one requiring
prompt and immediate attention.

Is This a Good Point?

To tie Editor Of The Dispatch:
The following is the conclusion of
Mr.. w. l.. Royals letter in Sundays
Di8pGtch:
"In conclusion. will say that in my opinion
tits The duty Of every patriotic Nirginian 70 use
coupons IN payment OF his taxes as means OF
CON polling the Stase 20 come TO 5oIno adjust
ment Of this matter, and when she shall have
agreed TO settle upoa terms that may be egroed
% by the present commission and ratified by
The creditors meeting % DO held thereafter, /,
for one. viii refuse 10 pay my taxes In coupons,
and win place at the disposal Of tho State all
the knowledge Of the subject that | possess 70
compel those creditors who refuse 70 fund I'M
der that agreement INTO doing so or losing all
they possess WILLIAM l. korALL."
This, as we read it, is an extraordi-
nary declaration coming from MIR.
Royal. Ii is notorious that he has
spoken publicly without reserve and
often Of the infamous conduct OF the
State Of Virginia in refusing 10 settle
with the creditors according to the
terms of her bonds. He has called
us repudiationists, Anarchists, Herr
Mosts, and he has characterized the
financial officers Of the State as Cars,
and AutOcrdts. Language has failed
10 convey his idea of the character of
what has been done by the Riddleber-
ger men. Nay more, he has published
and circulated (see circular 10 the tax
payers and license-tax payers OF Vir-
einia) that the Supreme Court
Of the United States has de-
cided that all the laws Of
Virginia which forbid the reception OF
coupons are repugnsnt 10 the Constitn-
ton OF the United States and void. In
that circular he quotes the cases which
he held decided the law in bis favor

Mahone's Candidate.

A Washington letter in the Alexan-
dria Gazette says that, Judging from
the way some of the freshmen OF Wash
ington city are talking about Senator
SHERMAN, the Senator made presl-
Dental quie.us Of himself with a bare
letter few nights ago, as, though spe-
cially invited to attend the anti-co-
ercion meeting then in progress, he
sent letter, and went to the theatre.
That was an inexcusable blunder on
the part of SHERMAN. 1t was much
more. It was an insult to the Irishmen
whom he deceived by writing letter to
them as an apology for what he thus led
them TO believe was an enforced alb
sence. We await with some curiosity
SHERmAS's explanation of this matter.
He will have to "mend his fences.
He cannot escape caustic comment un-
less he can show either that he was not
at the theatre on the night OF the Irish
meeting in Washington, or else that he
was almost compelled or constrained to
90 thither by engagements into which
he had entered before he received the
invitation in reply to which he merely
wrote . letter instead OF reporting IN
nerson.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-04-19

This he also did in his speeches TO the
iuries, whom he invoked, as loyal citl-
zens, to see that this, the supreme Inv
of the land, was not violated by Vir-
einia. But in the above paragraph no
GAYS that IL the State agrees 10 settle
upon terms that may have been agreed
10 by the present commission and rati-
fed by the creditors meeting to be held
hereafter he will do all he can to con-
rel all accusants to fund under that
agreement or take all they possess.
Now consider. All the consol and
ten forty tax-rcceivable coupon bonds
will not be represented at the commits
sion; that il certain. Besides these
there are OF other bonds, not Riddle
berger, 81. T18, 9l0.35, and these are not
invited to the conference by the bond
holders. II is safe to say there will be
not less than $40, 600, 900 unrepresented
Ivy the British commission; in round
numbers one third of the whole.
But according to Mr.. Royals pres
ent declaration he will join the Anar-
chists, the Herr Mosts, the Cars, and
The autocrats in perpetrating an outrage
upon this one third, more or less, and
will set ut naught the authority and
laws of the United States against them,
if they shall not fund their bonds to
suit him. This is the way Mr.. Royall's
language reads. Is it possible it con-
yeys his meaning?

II is said that some dissatisfaction ex-

that new ticket will be put in the

veloped powerful fondness for bleed
ing candidates during election time,
and as the ticket stands there isntmuch
money in it for them. The aspirants

Especial telegram TO tho Dispatch.l
CHARLESTON, w. VA, April 18.-On
the 23d of March c. C. Coons, agent
for the Kanawha and Ohio railroad at
Trimble, Athens county, o., decamped
with $3.50 OF the company's money.
Since then Colonel J. Z. Shallcross, of
Wheeling, agent OF trust and insu-
rance company of Chicago, has been
searching for MIN, and to-day arrested
him here.
Coons had on Saturday been given a
position as night-operatOr in the freight
depot of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
way. He claimed to have check on
one OF the banks of this city, and on
the strength of this succeeded in Dor
rowing various sums from some of the
other operators. He also owes his
landlady for three days board. Sheriff
Fred. Stadler, of Athens county,
will arrive tomorrow with q requisi-
ton for him.
